Use

The Time Sheet allows you to change data records even if they have already been approved or written to the interface tables for transfer to the target components.

The system generates a second data record in this case. This means that there is a new original record, and a predecessor to this original.

The initial version of the record is not lost. You can still display it using the Time Sheet views and then make a comparison with the changed version.

The predecessor is assigned the Structure linkprocessing status 50 - Changed after approval or 60 - Canceled.

Note

You can also call the predecessor of a record using the document display function. You need to know the document number to do this.

For information on the document display function, see Structure linkDisplaying Data Records Using the Document Display Report

Procedure

  1. Call the data entry view for CATS classic.
  2. Select the record for which you want to display the predecessor.

    Note

    If the record you select does not have a predecessor, the system issues a message accordingly.

  4. Exit the screen by choosing This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Back.
